California elected official caught urinating on LGBT club door before brawling with manager
A Southern California elected official brawled with the manager of an LGBT club after urinating on the night spot’s doors.
Chris Kilpatrick resigned from his post on the Crescenta Valley Town Council after he was fingered as one of two men who carried out the dastardly crime in surveillance footage shared by Precinct, a popular bar in downtown Los Angeles.
The duo — both wearing their black shirts unbuttoned — were seen sauntering up to the well-lit employee entrance of the club around 2 a.m. Sunday and pulling down their pants.
They stood close together as they aimed their streams at the same corner of the door.
After finishing their long potty break, the pair walked back out onto the street, where a manager stopped them — but not for urinating on the door.
The men were carrying full cocktail glasses that they had taken from inside of Precinct.
When the manager tried to take the drinks away, “the big one reacted by physically assaulting him, throwing him to the ground,” the bar wrote in an Instagram post.
“Last Saturday night, these two party boys decided to show everyone what not to do at Precinct,” the club said. “Precinct is a safe space for all; let’s have a good time. Don’t be a d*ck. oh, yeah, we also have several bathrooms.”
Although the post did not name Kilpatrick as either of the men, several commenters were quick to ID him as the alleged assailant.
A lawyer for Kilpatrick claimed the former town council member was afraid for his and his boyfriend’s safety after they were “aggressively” grabbed by two uninformed men who did not identify themselves.
“My client instinctively pushed back in self defense. It was reasonable for him to believe that they were about to possibly be gay bashed by these 2 individuals,” attorney John Duran told The Post in an email.
“Battery is a misdemeanor offense including an unlawful touching as exhibited by individual one who grabbed my client first. Pushing back is an affirmative defense if done to defend oneself or others.”
As for the public urination on private property, Duran argued Kilpatrick did not commit a criminal offense.
The action is considered an infraction under the Los Angeles Municipal Code that could result in a fine, he said.
Kilpatrick resigned from his position on the Crescenta Valley Town Council Thursday, just one day after the panel announced he would be booted if the allegations against him were found to be true.
According to a since-deleted page on the Crescenta Valley Town Council website, Kilpatrick has been on the council since 2020 and owns a residential construction business.
